»Petzold’s writing has never been this casually crisp or rawly funny, studded with throwaway barbs and loudly unspoken truths.« – Variety. »Afire draws you in confidently and prepares its knockout emotional punch with scrupulousness and a vivid sense of surprise.«

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
